Need help in writing a vbscript

Hi,
I need help in wring a vbscript. I have serached for the vbscript on the net, but could not find any.
I need to add a file to an msi using vbscript. - That's the requirement.
For this I have done the following with the help of vbscript.
1. With the insert statement I inserted a new copmonent in the FeatureComponent Table.
2. Now the next thing I did is, I inserted a new row in the File table using insert statement again. The file is uncompressed.
3. Since the file is a non-version file I also added a row in the MSIFileHash table.
4. Also, now added the Component in the component table.
After doing this I am able to see the chnages in the mst, however whrn I try to install it I get an error 2725 (Invalid database tables).
Can somebody please post a vbscript which can add a file to an msi?

Hi All,
Thanks for all your responses.
Yes, It is not so easy. I never said it was. Thanks for pointing out Orca. We use Orca on a daily basis.
What exactly I am looking at, is this.
We have some standard applications which needs to be repackaged every month. The repackaging process is same and does not change at least for these packages. So I was actually looking at automating these things.
What I did so far.
First we have created an object for Windows installer. I have then taken a copy of the original msi and then opened the database of this temporary msi database in transact mode. Once the database is opened we can use select, insert, update
and delete statements to update the database.
I could successfully add a registry to the msi. The component was also added successfully to the component table. I also could make changes to the Property table.
The tricky part comes with the addition of file to the file table.
The addition of file requires the following steps.
1. Add a new row to the file table. This can be done with the Insert statement.
2. We then need to associate the file to a new component or any other component already existing in the msi. In my case I am creating a new component.
3. We then have to associate this components to a feature in the FeatureComponents table.
4. Since the file I am adding is a non-versioned file, a new row also has to be added to the MSIFILEHASH table.
I could see the changes that I have done using the mst. But when I try to install the msi with the mst, I get the error 2725. I checked everything. All the other steps except for the file addition works fine.
To check whether I am indeed right, I have did this.
Skipped the file addition part to the msi. Every other change that I make works and I am able to install the msi with the mst successfully.
For obvious security reasons I will not be able to share the vbscript with you. If you guys think, that this is not a right forum for this question, please let me know the right forum. I have been stuck with this issue from the past 6 months. Any help would
really be appreciated.

i need help with a java program. it is a program that allows the user to enter a student's GPA, number of extracurricular activities, and number of service activities. The user can not enter a gpa above 4.0 or below 0. The user can not enter a negative number for the number of both activities.

You haven't posted ANY 'java program' for us to help with.
The forum is NOT a coding service. It is to help you with YOUR code.
Post the code you have written and SHOW us (don't just tell us) how you compile it and execute it and the results you get. Then we can help you with any problems you are are having.
If you need help understanding just what the program should be doing you need to ask your instructor to clarify the assignment.

Need Help in writing a UDF

Hi,
Please help in writing a UDF for these fields in mapping, which I need for the object Iu2019m doing currently.
The fields are like this:
1)         batch_no = "TRUNC((GetMaxObjid('x_txn_sap_parts')-POWER(2,28))/5000)+1",
2)         lot_id = "TRUNC((GetMaxObjid('x_txn_sap_parts')-POWER(2,28))/500)+1",
3)        How to use JDBC connection factory class in the UDF.
Some logic I can provide which I know i.e. Power (2, 28) means 2 to the power of 28 (2 multiplied 28 times), Trunc means truncate, X_TXN_SAP_Parts is a database table.The Target fields are Batch_no, lot_id & Objid.Actually, objid is mapped initially to a source field i.e. Object ID and in this function it is only being used for the calculation of the batch_no.
Thanks in Advance,
Sreedhar.

Hi,
Following with my query I've tried to use this code but still I'm unable to execute the mapping.

              accessor.close();
       result.addValue((String)cValue);
--> I don't know what are the parameters to be used and how to be used in the UDF because this is the first time I'm writing a UDF.
--> The problem in using this query is that both OBJID & BatchNo. are on the target side and the value for the OBJID is retrieved by a SELECT query from the database.
Kindly help me how to resolve this query of mine.
Thanks in Advance.

Need help in writing a vbs script

I am very new to scripting and need help in scripting the following:
When the Windows 7 machine boots up or a user logs on (easy to do with GPO), I want to execute a script that starts some services
ONLY if the length of the computer name is less than or equal to 15 else it should exit. It has to be done in the background without any user interaction.
The script should be able to work for both x86 and x64 version of Win7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I highly recommend that you skip VBScript and learn PowerShell instead. This is pretty trivial in PowerShell:
If ($env:COMPUTERNAME.Length -le 15) {
# Do stuff
# HINT: Look into Start-Service
Write-Host "Under limit: $env:COMPUTERNAME"
} Else {
# Do optional stuff
Write-Host "Over limit: $env:COMPUTERNAME"
(OT: jrv - happy? =])
If you must stick with VBScript for some odd reason, here's an example to get you started:
Set wshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject( "WScript.Network" )
strComputerName = wshNetwork.ComputerName
If Len(strComputerName) <= 15 Then
'Do stuff here when the name is short enough
WScript.Echo "Under limit: " & strComputerName
Else
'Do stuff here when the name is too long (only if you want to)
WScript.Echo "Over limit: " & strComputerName
End If

Need help with writing a rule

Need help with some rules. I want to book a number to a specific Entity at a Specific Custom 4 only. I don't want this formula to work at all C4 levels. How can this be done?
for example if Entity is "XBM1123" and we use C4 for tracking and the tracking level I want to book it to is IMPORT, how can this be done for a specific account 4400221
I have my formula as
If pov_value = "<Entity Currency>" or pov_value = "<Entity Curr Adjs>" Then
If HS.Entity.Member = "XBM1123" or HS.Custom4.Member = "IMPORT" then
HS.EXP "A#4400221= A#4521111 + A#3526644 + A#635210"
End If
End if
this did not work. I got hte following error
Calculate started.<BR>Error executing VBScript Microsoft VBScript runtime
error, Line 259:Object doesn't support this property or method:
'HS.Custom4.Member'.<BR>Calculate finished.<BR>Error executing
VBScript %0.
I then changed it to the below and it still did not work
If pov_value = "<Entity Currency>" or pov_value = "<Entity Curr Adjs>" Then
If HS.Entity.Member = "XBM1123" then
HS.EXP "A#4400221.C4#IMPORT= A#4521111 + A#3526644 + A#635210"
End If
End if
error
Invalid Custom1 member
specified for this function.
Invalid Destination specified for this function:
A#4400221.C4#IMPORT.

You are close.
Try:
If pov_value = "<Entity Currency>" or pov_value = "<Entity Curr Adjs>" Then
    If HS.Entity.Member = "XBM1123" then
       HS.EXP "A#4400221.C4#IMPORT= A#4521111.C4#IMPORT + A#3526644.C4#IMPORT + A#635210.C4#IMPORT"
    End If
End if
or replace IMPORT with with Top_C4 or what ever member you need to copy to C4#IMPORT.
Rule of thumb, to be on the safe side and for most simple calcs, is if you mention a dimension on the left side, you need to define it on the right side as well.

Any pointers will be appreciated.

Remember that anything inside quotes is case-sensitive. Is the owner really "Schema_Name" with a capital S and a capital N, and 8 lower-case letters?
Simply sticking the later query in the first query does not work.Right; the table name must be given when you compile the query. It's not an expression that you can generate in the query itself.
Any pointers will be appreciated.In SQL*Plus, you can do something like the query bleow.
Say you want to count the rows in scott.emp, but you're not certain that the name is emp; it could be emp_2011 or emp_august, or anything else that starts with e. (And the name could change every day, so you can't just look it up now and hard-code it in a query that you want to run in the future.)
Typically, how dynamic SQL works is that some code (such as a preliminary query) gets some of the information you need to write the query first, and you use that information in a SQL statement that is compiled and run after that. For example:
-- Preliminary Query:
COLUMN     my_table_name_col     NEW_VALUE my_table_name
SELECT     table_name     AS my_table_name_col
FROM     all_tables
WHERE     owner          = 'SCOTT'
AND     table_name     LIKE 'E%';
-- Main Query:
SELECT     COUNT (*)     AS cnt
FROM     scott.&my_table_name
;This assumes that the preliminary query will find exactly one row; that is, it assumes that SCOTT has exactly one table whose name starts with E. Could you have 0 tables in the schema, or more than 1? If so, what results would you want? Give a concrete example, preferably suing commonly available tables (like those in the SCOTT schema) so that the poepl who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas.

Phani,
You have to use the iBrowser displaytemplate.
Map the transportion point Xacute qquery in iBrowser displaytemplate.
In code use :
document.APP1.getBrowserObject().getSelectedItem();
Store the value of above code in a variable.
And pass this variable in other appalet which displays the R/3 details as below:

Need help in writing a tricky sql/PL/Sql Procedure

Hi,
I have a Branch table with just two fields in it node1 and Node2, The table looks like this
node1 | node2
-------|---------
1 | 2
3 | 2
3 | 4
4 | 5
1 | 5
1 | 6
5 | 6
in the above data if you draw lines between node_1 and node_2 you will see that there are 3 different paths to get from 1 to 5, as follows
/--------6-------\
1----------------------5
\2------3-------4/
Now I need to Find all the nodes between 1 and 5 or all the possible paths from node 1 to node 5 in this case I have 3 possible paths they are as follows
1-2-3-4-5
1-3-5
1-5
Now I know if this data was stored in a hierarchical manner I can get the results i want by using CONNECT BY and SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH.
Is there a way to transform this data into a hierarchcal manner so that I can use the CONNECT BY or can somebody give me an Idea as to how to write a PL/SQL procedure to get the result I want.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hi!
1.Create another table Branch1 to hold 'transformed data'.
2.Use the following procedure to insert data into branch1 table.
declare
cursor n is select * from branch;
begin
for nrec in n loop
if nrec.node1 = 5 then
     insert into branch1(node1,node2) values(nrec.node2,nrec.node1);
elsif nrec.node2= 5 then
     insert into branch1(node1,node2) values(nrec.node1,nrec.node2);
else
if      nrec.node2> 5      then
     insert into branch1(node1,node2) values(nrec.node1,nrec.node2);
elsif nrec.node1> 5 then
     insert into branch1(node1,node2) values(nrec.node2,nrec.node1);
elsif (nrec.node1 < nrec.node2 ) then
     insert into branch1(node1,node2) values(nrec.node1,nrec.node2);
else
     insert into branch1(node1,node2) values(nrec.node2,nrec.node1);
end if;
end if;
end loop;
commit;
end;
3.Then execute the following connect by query:
SQL> select lpad(' ',level*2,' ')||node1 from branch1
2 start with node1=1
3 connect by prior node2=node1;
Hope this is satisfactory.
Thanks!

Need Help in Writing a program using a two-dimensional Array

I need to write a program that takes 16 integers as inputs and determine whether the square is a magic square(sum of each row, column, and diagonal is the same constant) and display the result in a message Box. Please Help!!!!!

stick the 16 ints in an int[4][4] and then just write the methods. i guess thats the hard part though. the most cumbersome and longest possible way to do it is just write everything out. ie if(int[1][1] + int[2][1] + int[3][1] etc...). a better way would be to use a bunch or for loops, but you'll have to figure that out yourself.

Need help in writing a .jsp page

Hi Guys,
I am new to JSP. My requirement is " I have a link on my webpage. When the user clicks that link, a HTML page is displayed which has parameters to be entered (for ex: from_date , to_date). When the user clicks the submit button, a jsp page should be displayed in which a query is run to display the output. For example, the user enters the from_date and to_date parameter values to know the employees employed within those dates in their company. The query is "select empname,empno,sal,dept,comm from emp where employed_date between from_date and to_date" . The following should run and display in the jsp page.
How can i write a .jsp to extract the parameters that are entered in the HTML form in to a .jsp and run the query with those parameters to display the output. Help needed in making me write this .jsp for this query.
Help Aprreciated.
Thanks

Hm, your requirements sound like homework assignment from classroom. If so, is itn't better that you find the answer youself? There are plenty of very relevant references for how to use jsp to handle html forms or talk to a rdbms through a jdbc connection. For example, for jsp and html forms, you can google "jsp html forms"; for jsp and sql query, search for "jsp jdbc".
Tell me if this is not helpful.

Need help in writing a select query to pull required data from 3 tables.

Hi,
I have three tables EmpIDs,EmpRoles and LatestRoles. I need to write a select Query to get roles of all employees present in EmpIDs table by referring EmpRoles and LatestRoles.
The condition is first look into table EmpRoles and if it has more than one entry for a particular Employee ID than only need to get the Role from LatestRoles other wise consider
the role from EmpRoles .
Sample Script:
Create Table #EmpIDs
(EmplID int )
Create Table #EmpRoles
(EMPID int,Designation varchar(50))
Create Table #LatestRoles
EmpID int,
Designation varchar(50)
Insert into #EmpIDs values (1),(2),(3)
Insert into #EmpRoles values (1,'Role1'),(2,'Role1'),(2,'Role2'),(3,'Role1')
Insert into #LatestRoles values (2,'Role2')
Employee ID 2 is having two roles defined in EmpRoles so for EmpID 2 need to fetch Role from LatestRoles table and for
remaining ID's need to fetch from EmpRoles .
My Final Output of select query should be like below.
EmpID Role
1 Role1
2 Role2
3 Role1
Please help.
Mohan
